At the Fantastic Fest film festival in Austin, Texas, short films often play before the films. Before Anders Thomas Jensen‘s Men & Chicken, the audience was treated to The Chickening, directed by Nick DenBoer and Davy Force. The short film was met with a huge applause, almost stealing the spotlight from the feature that followed.

Have you ever wanted to see a reimagining of The Shining starring a whole bunch of chickens and an older, wisecracking Danny? Well, your wish has been granted.
